Roam4Free Website Review

Pat Phelan is looking for reviews for his new website, selling his new roam 4 free Sim Card, so here is mine….

Roam4free.ie is designed by Dragnet, this is my first time hearing of this design company, so I have no idea as to their reputation for designing websites, however if this design is anything to go by, I say well done to them, and to Roam4Free for selecting them. The design is very sleek and modern with very stylish icons, which really are the making of the website. The clean cut look makes the site easy on the eyes, with a very basic, but easy to use navigation bar for access to most of the sites pages. It’s clear from the websites various sections what the company is offering is from the first look.

However, there are one or two issues I do have a problem with on this site, so I will start from the top down. To begin with, I love the ‘mobile phone’ Roam4free icon, it is very snazzy, but unfortunately the login bar beside it, spanning the top of the screen, is dull and distracting and seems somewhat out of sync with the rest of the websites design. The text of the site, is well written and gives you a simplistic read of what the product is, however, although the background is really cool on this, particularly on the ‘more’ link from the homepage, it is somewhat hard to read, because of the colour of the text (this could be just me however – I am colour blind – so I cant be sure on this). One thing I would like to see on the website, is print this page feature, such as the ones you see on sites, that strip out all the colours and allows you to print a black and white version of the text – very convent for those who see the site – but would prefer to just print out the sections are read later (just an idea?). Finally the affiliate page, I have a problem with this page for one basic reason, there is absolutely no information on what this program is about, I don’t imagine too many people will fill out the form when they don’t know what’s on offer, also the title of this page displays ‘Untitled Document’.

Overall, the site is great, and I know I do go on a bit of a rant above, however, the site does have a nice modern look, and is extremely easy to use, but feedback is feedback I guess.

The product sounds like a great idea, so the best of luck with it guys!
